Finishing touches

I feel violated.

My body has been used and was toyed with as nothing more than a means for entertainment.

Ok, maybe I'm exaggerating a bit, but you would be equally upset if someone decided to give you antlers just it would be "funny to look at".

At least Tabula is more or less done with my appearance now and while I haven't had the chance to look at myself yet, I am fairly certain that I look the same as the Albedo on show. I suppose I will get enough opportunities to confirm that later.

Another thing that I noticed is that while I have all my senses, most of it feels somehow dampened like walking trough water.

I'm not worrying to much about it since I am still technically in a game, where I shouldn't really be able to smell or feel at all. So I hope that my senses will be fully functional once Nazarick arrives in the New World.

I have also been thinking a lot about what exactly happened since my death.

My current theory is that the void was some kind of soul recycling dimension since that is the only explanation I can come up with why my memories should be wiped out.

And while my soul was there it seems that I was somehow pulled out before my soul could be wiped clean.

That would also at least somewhat explain why my soul is currently in something that shouldn't have a soul, at least not yet. After all, the characters in the show weren't exactly more that bunch of zeroes and ones until they reached the New World.

I should stop thinking about stuff like this to much, since I don't really have any prove for it anyway and this type of stuff just gives me headaches.

Now back to the fact that Tabula is more or less done with my character creation.

It's been two days since Tabula showed me to Momonga and at least I am still able to sleep between Tabula's sessions of writing my settings and adjusting other things.

There are only some things in my settings that bother me. I can work around around having a thing for housework and other things a perfect wife would do, but...

I admit I was never one to "revel in the agonizing death of my enemies" or "being a slut".

As for how I know all this? Tabula Smaragdina talks to himself. A LOT.

I hope the character settings don't affect me to much, but I guess it should be okay especially now that I am aware of them.

And it could have been a lot worse after all. If I remember correctly then Shalltears settings were basically one big collection of weird fetishes.

But that luckily isn't really my problem.

On the other side Tabula and some of the other guild members are apparently talking about the best use of my racial and class levels as well different weapons and equipment sets.

I'm pretty sure that they will make the same choices as in the show anyway so I don't have to worry about being weak at least.

Which brings me too another little bonus of being an NPC. Namely the fact that NPCs in Yggdrasil don't have to do Quests or kill monsters to level up since every guild only has limited amount of levels to create their custom NPCs.

And although I am not to keen on it happening. In the likely case that I will die at least once in this game I can be revived using gold without losing levels or other repercussions.

On the other hand it also seems like I won't exactly be able to act on my own until I arrive in the New World. That might admittedly get very boring soon, but I think I will be fine.

(2 hours later)

How long can you debate about assigning a few levels in a game?! Dammit!

I could swear it's been hours since Tabula left for the discussion about my levels and he still hasn't come back? So what is taking him so lo-

*Creak*

The door slowly opens to reveal the face of a now very familiar brain eater.

"Hello there Albedo! Finally done with the class distribution, once all of the others are warmed up they start debating about every single stat point and equipment slot." Tabula said in a cheery voice.

Don't wonder about the fact that he is talking to me. I guess he just started doing it once talking to himself got to boring.

Though I do wonder what he would do, if he knew I can actually hear and understand everything he says. A shame he is going to leave the game before the ending of Yggdrasil.

Otherwise I would need to have a few very harsh words with my creator about dressing me up in different event costumes against my will.

Though the "sexy secretary" costume did look pretty good on me. That's something to keep in mind I guess if I ever need it.

(10 minutes later)

"And done." said Tabula with slightly happy tone. "Took long enough after all."

At least you didn't have to stand in a dark room alone for hours without end...

"Sometimes all the details in this game are really more of a curse than a blessing"

Hey! You are talking about my details here so shut up and put a little effort into it. I'm the person that has to live with it for the rest of my life after all.

Due to Tabula talking to himself I was also able to at least somewhat understand what my status looks like.

Name =

-Albedo

Total Level =

-100

Racial Level =

-Imp (10)

-Dream Eater (10)

-Succubus (5)

-Lilith (5)

Job Level =

-Guardian (10)

-Blackguard (5)

-Unholy Knight (10)

-Shield Lord (10)

-Others (35)

HP = 100

MP = 35

PHY. ATK. = 85

PHY. DEF. = 95

AGILITY = 60

MAG. ATK. = 45

MAG. DEF. = 95

RESISTANCE = 90

SPECIAL ABILITY = 85

TOTAL = 690

(Albedo will not have a system. I will merely use the status window to show any progress she may make. And since the list might get rather long I will simply be posting this in the auxiliary chapters from now on. Ask in the comments if you have any other questions. Thank You.)

I still don't know how things like my race will effect me in the long run, but let's just be optimistic for now and say it is going to be okay.

And with my job levels mainly focused on defense and physical attacks I also don't have to worry about dying just because I made a small mistake.

I won't go too much into how my skill list looks like, but my general focus is on tanking the enemies hits before starting a heavy counter attack with different low tier spells to boost my own stats.

There are a bunch of passive resistances against physical and magical attacks as well as status effects. Those are the skills that I understand at least. I will have to find out what most of them do later, but I will probably have enough time for that later.

NPCs in the game only posses a very basic artificial intelligence that allows them to use skills against invaders.

The paths that the NPCs walk on have to be chosen by the players.

Needless to say I don't have to do very much since I am stationed in the Throne Hall where no invader ever arrives.

I only have to support the other floors should they be in serious danger.

The AI of a NPC is apparently only good enough to defend the place it is stationed at, so they need to constantly receive commands while attacking outside of their floor.

What that means for me is that I will have a lot of free time . Free time that will mostly be spent standing around in one place...

Great.

I wonder how long it is until the canon starts. I don't know the exact timeline, but I do know that The Great Tomb of Nazarick has only recently been conquered by Ainz Ooal Gown meaning the majority of the players is at least somewhat active.

So I suppose there are at least a few years to go until canon...

I might as well use the time to find out what I can and what I can't do, so hopefully one of the guild members takes me out to fight at least once.

It would after all be quite suspicious if I was the only NPC that didn't know how to fight when Nazarick gets teleported.

I'll just have to wait and see I guess.
